JENOPTIK AG accepts no liability for the accuracy and completeness of these estimates and does not undertake to correct or update the estimates or the consensus of analysts, even if these deviate from their own forecasts or expectations.

Dividend

The Jenoptik management aspires to a policy of dividend reliability and continuity in which shareholders receive payment of a dividend in line with the company’s success. At the same time, sufficient cash and cash equivalents to finance the operating business, a robust equity position and the use of acquisition opportunities to secure the lasting growth of the company are also in the interests of the shareholders. The Executive and Supervisory Boards of JENOPTIK AG therefore review their dividend recommendation with considerable prudence every year.

On the basis of the
Group’s solid earnings and good financial position, the Executive and
Supervisory Boards of JENOPTIK AG will propose, as in the prior years, an
increased dividend of 0.35 euros per share for the 2018 fiscal year (prior
year: 0.30 euros) to the Annual General Meeting on June 12, 2019. Subject to
shareholder approval, the total amount to be paid out will be 20.0 million
euros (prior year: 17.2 million eur

Registered shares

Jenoptik has converted into registered shares

Stock corporations (Aktiengesellschaften) can categorize the share capital either as registered or bearer shares. So far, Jenoptik had bearer shares. Now we have converted the shares into registered shares. Why? The share register, where all shareholders of Jenoptik are registered, gives Jenoptik a better overview of its shareholders. It allows a more detailed analysis of the shareholder structure and the development of shareholdings of institutional investors. Furthermore, Investor Relations will be more efficient and can target its operations more directly. In the daily communication with private shareholders registered shares provide valuable assistance as we can make better use of the opportunities of electronic communication. We can, for example, send the letter of invitation for the Annual General Meeting directly to the shareholders without including the custodian banks in this process. Due to the conversion to registered shares our share will be traded under a new international securities identification number (ISIN) – DE000A2NB601 starting September 3, 2018. All shareholders of Jenoptik will be informed of the conversion by their custodian banks.
